Well, I guess it would have happened at some point when you write these at my 11:00 pm. Whoops

A nurse in touhou :0 Day 53: Eirin Yagokoro Eirin is quite weird, as she really should be the kind of character I like. Her lore is really cool, where it shows a lot of her power and capabilities, and gives lore to the other eientei crew. Her design is really neat, and it’s unique even after all this time. However, the major issue with her is her general use in current events involving her. She essentially ends as the “know it all,” which really only ends up as her being a plot device to lead the protag. If she doesn’t, she provides some kind of doctor thing that also drives the plot forward. She never really goes and does interesting stuff, because she never really has been given it despite how much she actually shows up. She’s like yukari but without the actual involvement. Overall, a neat concept without much to get her going.

Personally, I actually do advocate for both Yumemi and shinki. Shinki because she holds basically all of makai’s lore and has yumeko as well, and Yumemi has an entire location and concept attached to her, along with Chiyuri. Mima as a character acts kinda similarly, being some lore for Marisa and kinda just messing around a lot. I don’t feel that she’s too special like most PC 98 characters, and has the same capacity to be interesting as Yumemi, shinki, and some other less common ones. Elly for example could show up again with Yuuka, and potentially open up some more lore on what happened between PC98 and current gen. The getsu sisters are stronger than they let on and could be cool to explore their dynamic with the world, as they aren’t particularly involved in gensokyo. You can make cases for characters that can be just as interesting as Mima, and I hate seeing people just tunnel on Mima and ignore other characters.

Yeah, but there’s better choices than Mima when it comes to returners, and not to mention if we get surprised with a character we didn’t expect they could turn out cooler than Mima. Also, a bit funny on the titles thing, as I it came from the Benben’s sister joke and kinda stuck. I’m gonna keep doing it tbh.

Ghost who has a cult following Day 52: Mima Mima. I’m tired of that name tbh. People whenever they hear a sniff of any new touhou content, it’s all I fucking hear about. I really never liked having people influence my opinions on a character, but this is the only one that I do feel this way. There are better PC98 characters to bring back ffs, why are y’all dedicated to her specifically. Anyways, end of the Mima fans rant. Mima herself is a neat character, serving as explanation to why Marisa knows her kind of magic, and generally is a nice lore piece to Marisa. I don’t like her personality, as she seems pretty sadistic in my opinion, and it’s not fun to watch. Her themes are pretty okay as well. Her design is a high point, and I honestly think she looks pretty cool. Overall, a fine character being ruined by her rabid and feral fans.

Oh nice! 15.5 is the better of those two if want to go by balance-wise.

As someone who plays soku on game pad, it works with the others. I’m not sure why 7.5 isn’t working, as I haven’t played it. But all the others do support it, as long as you have it plugged in before you boot the game.

Nuh uh, not on my posts. Dont bring up that cursed ass game lmao

Blue Angel doofus who is definitely an ass. Day 51: Mai Mai is one of those PC98 characters that I like for absolutely no reason. I think her design is neat, and that she generally has a cool look about her. In the games, she is quite rude, and generally she isn’t a good person, just doing whatever with Yuki. Overall, one of the characters I can’t explain besides “she’s neat.”

Oh that’s awful, hope you get better! On the job injuries are always a pain(I have a scar from when I tore open my thumb while working, and it was my second day). I’m excited to start though!

Oh hey, we need to pair cirno with another character? Unfortunately, it’s not winter, so I guess we gotta use dai again. Day 50: Letty Whiterock Letty never shows up. She is an interesting concept, being an embodiment of winter and snow, but only being active during winter. Her only real presence is within fan content, where she ends up being pretty neat. She usually shows up as a mother figure to cirno, and it usually end with her offering advice that goes on her deaf and dumber ears. Her design is pretty basic honestly, and she doesn’t have a stand out theme. Overall, a character that hasn’t got to shine yet due to her generally uninteresting aspects.

The second stage of smoke rings Day 49: Sannyo Komakusa Sannyo is actually a quite interesting character sometimes. She’s interesting because of her gambling den, in which hasn’t been explored much. It definitely has potential as a location, as gathering spots that are more neutral are generally uncommon in gensoukyo, with the only other notable place like that I can think of being miyoi’s bar. Sannyo herself is cool, with a unique ability too. The mental picture of her using it sounds neat, as she uses her smoke to manipulate people. Generally, it’s for calming patrons. Her design is neat, but a bit plain, but the smoke dragon definitely Carrie’s it. Overall, I’m not opposed to seeing her more, as she seems to have much potential.

Deadly diseasing doll dat does do something Day 48: Medicine Melancholy Medicine is quite uninteresting. I think her concept is pretty one note most of the time and people really haven’t done too much with her. Essentially, she’s incredibly protect of dolls and poisons those who mistreat them or really enter the nameless hill. She doesn’t show up much, and she only shows with either Yuuka or the fairies, which don’t do too much for her character wise. Her theme is definitely her standout thing, being very fitting and super good. Overall, a pretty boring character who could use some more traits in general.

The market fox demands your money (discreetly) Day 47: Tsukasa Kudamaki Man touhou 19 really did help some characters. Tsukasa got her much needed personality here, and I’d be lying if she didn’t move up. It’s so fitting on how she is, as she is very smug and manipulative. Her theme is now officially touhou 18 stage 5, which is one of my favorite pieces of touhou music, period. Lastly, I love her concept, with the whole “help ya out to your own detriment,” being very cool to see and leaves her very morally gray, leaning to evil. Reminds me of Yachie when I think of how she could be a fun villain. I like her design, but I can’t help but think that people REALLY flew off the handle when they saw it. Overall, a character who got her development and turned into an excellent Yachie-type villain.

Sounds good!

It’s Spring! Day 46: Lily white I honestly love Lily as a concept. The first part to her is her simply being the spring announcer, which is super neat and gives her a gimmick that keeps her relevant. It’s nice to have these kinda of characters fluffing the roster, as she can always do her specific thing, not being overshadowed by others. Outside of this, she’s been frequently used as a character due to her fairy status. She’s portrayed as a bit dumb, not really caring about much other than the season, which makes sense due to her nature as a part of nature. Unfortunately, my anti fairy bias is present as usual, as I really don’t care for the kind of character that fairies present. Overall, a fun gimmick that stayed in her lane.

Jet pack girl :0 Day 45: Rikako Asakura Rikako is neat. I like the fact she made a jet pack, which is really neat and adds to her little character. She does these inventions because she wanted to use science instead of magic (if I’m remembering right…) and i think it’s a cool kind of character in my opinion. Honestly I really don’t have much on this character, though she definitely could be a cool character.

Yuuma real

Actually, I was pretty prepped on that, since this Keiki iteration is based on my headcanons for her. My personal belief of how it went is the she lost the ability to imbue the idols with souls and have them be autonomous like Mayumi. Mayumi is the only one with her soul intact by now, but Keiki can directly control uninhabited idols.

The touhou 19 bunny Day 44: Seiran Seiran is in a weird spot when I made this marathon. Why did she have to come in at the exact day th19 released, as I was one who pushed the fact that she’ll get more character development she was missing from this game. The demo already established some nice bits, like her personality being a pretty forceful and forward, but we can get even more now. Her design is fine, but it’s kinda boring in my opinion. Her themes are amazing, with her stage theme being one of my more beloved tracks. All in all, this character is realizing her potential, and getting better.

A key Strat in one place, and side character everywhere else Day 43: Shizuha Aki Shizuha is a smaller side character. I like her design, and generally enjoy seeing her in general. When she shows up, she’s really fun and honestly ends up being a cool little character. However, like most characters in this area of my sorter, she’s not done too much of note yet. Overall, a fun part to Minoriko and a really nice character. Worth noting, Shizuha is absolutely amazing in FMW, allowing power drain strats with her ability.

Name: Keiki Haniyasushin Age: unknown, looks around mid thirties Sex: Female Species: Creation God (suppressed due to lack of faith after failing to save the humans in the animal realm) Personal Power: Idol creation Abilities: Able to make many things out of clay. Occupation: Sculptor Nationality: The underworld Appearance: it’s her usual look, with one difference. She wields a clay gauntlet on her right hand, in which she uses to fight. It covers her entire arm, and is crafted to be able to flex decently well due to it being made of multiple plates. Personality: Kind and sweet, caring for her creations and those close to her as her children. When she needs to be serious, she gets much scarier, especially after having to fend for herself and Mayumi for so long. Background: After the incident in hell involving the animal spirits, Keiki was left to her own devices on the surface with only Mayumi by her side. She wandered, not really knowing what to do and slowly losing all the faith she had. Along the way, she met Chimata and became fast friends, as they were in similar situations faith wise. Left with almost none, she got desperate. Seeing people begin to split and argue, she decided to retreat underground, eventually finding an ally in the oni, as they respected her innate strength and ingenuity. This eventually led to her siding with satori, hoping to one day gain some normalcy and accepting her newer nature of being more youkai like. Friends: Mayumi, Chimata Rivals: Reimu Equipment: Soul splitter(the gauntlet she wears), sculpting tools(chisels, hammers, and such), and other various items used to craft.

Victim of a massive robbery Day 42: Miyoi Okunoda Miyoi is such a sad character when it comes to how her own damn book was treated. Essentially, Mamizou stole the show in Miyoi’s book, causing her development to be hindered. Aya has also kinda contributed, but it’s not as egregious as Mamizou absolutely spot hogging it. Miyoi herself is neat, and she fills a cool role in the series. I really like how she interacts with many characters and generally is nice to watch. Her design is nice as well. Overall, a character shafted by a tanuki.

The mighty bomber fairy Day 41: Star Sapphire Star is a funky character. When it comes to the actual trio of the fairies and we don’t consider them outside of that, star is my favorite of them. But when we take her out of that environment, I like Luna more mostly due to design and personality. Star tends to be the smart one, making the plans and making the other two do them. She’s pretty mischievous, and has quite the penchant for explosives. This leads her to be really interesting to see, and pretty fun to watch so stupid stuff. The only thing holding her from going any higher is her design is weak and the fact that she doesn’t get too much interesting things outside of the trio. Overall, a fun character that could easily be entertaining when used, only held by some small nitpicks and my personal bias against fairies.
